Hi Terry,
There's a long discussion about this on the forum. I believe I did a
good attempt, but Bernd's solution was probably the most reliable.

Is there a definitive calculation that correctly sets the position of text
vertically in a field?
I am using LC 6.7.
I have come across a few ideas like the one below that all appear to use an
arbitrary offset to the margins, is there a method to calculate this accurately?
put the effective textSize of fld id tID into tTextSize
-- put round (((tTextSize - 22) * 1/3)) into tOffset
put round (((tTextSize - 24) * 1/3)) into tOffset
put the formattedheight of char 1 to - 1 of fld id tID into tFormattedHeight
put round((the height of fld id tID - tFormattedHeight) / 2) into
tVerticalMargins
put tVerticalMargins - tOffset into tTopMargin
put tVerticalMargins + tOffset into tBottomMargin
set the margins of fld id tID to 8,tTopMargin,8,tBottomMargin
All the best
Terry
